Charley Harper

I was perusing the over-stuffed kid's clothes racks at Old Navy when I stumbled upon these gorgeous Charley Harper flash cards. How excited was I to find out that Old Navy is selling an entire line of Harper products—appropriate for either the toddler, designer or animal lover on your Christmas list. Charley Harper's illustrations are unmatched in their beautiful simplicity and economy of form and line. I love, love, love them. Shortly before his death in 2007, Charles Harper collaborated with Todd Oldham on Charley Harper: An Illustrated Life: a loving tribute to an amazing, prolific, inspiring artist.

200 Monster Drawings

I just discovered the happiest site ever. It showcases the work of Stefan G. Bucher, who has posted 200 videos of him drawing these fabulous little monsters. The banjo intro and adorable drawings will give you a reason to smile and procrastinate (just a little) while at work.

Misprinted Type

I absolutely adore the collage/illustration/typographic work of Brazilian artist Eduardo Recife. His drawings and experimental type projects can be seen on the Misprinted Type site:

Isn't the lettering stunning? It is expressive, quirky, and beautifully rendered. Eduardo even offers some fabulous free fonts for download. Thank you, Eduardo, for making the world a more typographically beautiful place.
